Chapter 185 The Saint's Child

Seeing that Qi'an really had no intention of hurting herself, Xia Yue immediately relaxed and said openly:

Qi An nodded, "She's not like that."

Xia Yueke: "Who?"

"Saint."

"What is your relationship with her? How do you know she's not like that?"

Xia Yue was extremely curious, and she heard from Rongqiu that the saint was particularly partial to Qi'an!

She was now really curious about the relationship between these two people.

Qi An's body stiffened. "You want to know? Answer my question first."

Xia Yueke: "Then why don't you ask!"

"Were you scared when you came here?"

Qi'an seemed to be asking casually.

"I was scared, of course I was. The moment I opened my eyes, I was transported to a strange world that was completely different from anything I'd ever experienced before! Haha, at first I thought I'd been reincarnated as a pig, the kind of livestock we live in, the kind we slaughter and eat after Chinese New Year!"

As Xia Yueke spoke, she began to laugh to herself.

Qi An stood there quietly, his expression calm but with a hint of concentration. His eyes were always fixed on Xia Yueke, listening to her story silently.

Xia Yueke raised her head slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes as she slowly spoke:

"When I first arrived here, all I could see was endless darkness and nothingness. I couldn't see anything except the occasional animal calls. At first, I thought I was blind!"

She paused for a moment, as if trying to calm her emotions, and then continued:

"After two or three days, the world gradually became clear to me. When I saw the orcs, I was stunned. I had never seen such creatures before, with human bodies but animal features. It took me a long time to accept all of this and slowly get used to the strangeness of this world."

Xia Yueke's voice trembled a little. She secretly glanced at Qi'an, not knowing how he would react.

"Um."

"Later, I met Qian Jingyao. He is my partner and is very good to me!"

When Xia Yueke mentioned Qian Jingyao, her eyes instantly lit up with bright light.

"Will you leave again?"

Qi'an suddenly stopped, his expression solemn, and looked at Xia Yueke deeply, with waves of thoughts surging in his eyes.

"Ah?" Xia Yueke was stunned by this sudden question.

"Will you leave here? Go back...to your world..."

Qi'an asked word by word, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

Xia Yueke shook his head in confusion, and slowly lowered his head. He looked as if all the energy had been drained away, and his expression was listless.

"I don't know, or rather... I don't know why I came here, nor am I sure if I will leave in the future."

Qi'an raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up great courage.

"If, I mean if, you had the chance to go back, would you choose to stay because there are people you care about here?"

Xia Yueke couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Her thoughts drifted back to the day when she had a car accident in her previous life. A car rushed towards her like a mad beast. She only remembered the moment she was knocked away, her body seemed to be out of control, and the subsequent process was vague.

Every time I try hard to recall the details, my brain seems to be shrouded in a thick fog, and my thoughts fall into chaos, as if my body is sealing up those painful and terrifying fragments out of self-protection.

Unsure whether she had died in her previous life, although this world was full of unknowns and dangers, with Qian Jingyao's existence, there was no one there for her to worry about.

"It shouldn't be!" she said softly.

When Qi'an heard this answer, he sighed, but that gentle sigh seemed to contain some indescribable emotion.

"You are lucky, and your partner is lucky too..."

Xia Yueke's ears moved, and she caught the ambiguous words again. Her curiosity was piqued, and she hurriedly asked:

"Okay, okay, you've asked me enough questions, so now it's my turn to ask you. Tell me, what is your relationship with the Saint?"

Qi An looked into the distance, his eyes filled with sadness, and he slowly spoke: "The Saint... is my female beast."

"What? The Saint is actually your female beast? So, the one who stayed for her is your father beast?"

Qi'an nodded slightly, his eyes looking into the distance, his expression solemn and deep.

"Yes, because my mother was human, her lifespan was very different from ours. She died after a short time here."

Xia Yueke responded softly, although she was very curious about the saint.

But seeing Qi'an's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to provoke him any further, so he just said:

"Hmm...what about your father? Even if the mother is gone, the father must still be there, right?"

Qi An nodded, lowered his eyes, and said softly:

"I don't understand why the father beast committed suicide as soon as she left. I am left alone in this world, living alone and helpless. Doesn't the father beast love me?"

Xia Yue never expected Qi'an's fate to be so tragic. As soon as the mother beast left, the father beast committed suicide. This...

"Don't you have any other mates, female beast?"

Xia Yueke was quite curious about this question. Since Qi'an's father was dead, perhaps his mother had another mate who was still alive? Why didn't the other mate take care of Qi'an?

Qi An turned his head to look at her and said:

"No, the female beast only has my father as her partner and has never accepted anyone else. She said that in their world, they respect the concept of a couple being together for life."

"I was still young at that time, and the mother beast never explained it to me in detail."

Xia Yueke nodded, admiring the female beast in her heart, and asked:

"What's her name? How did she come here? Do you know anything about her past?"

As soon as the words came out, Xia Yueke felt that she was being a little unkind.

Qi'an had just confided his miserable childhood, but he was more curious about his beast mother and less concerned about his experience.

Qi An recalled briefly and said, "Her name is...Bai Qingshuang."

"After she appeared out of nowhere on this continent, my father rescued her and brought her back home. My father is also a white dove beastman. My mother loves his beast form very much and says it symbolizes peace."

Qi'an smiled bitterly. "I was young at the time and didn't understand the meaning. Later, as the mother beast and the father beast got along, they gradually developed feelings for each other. The father beast knew from the beginning that the mother beast was not from this continent. The mother beast was initially afraid of all beastmen, but later she gradually integrated into the tribe. The mother beast taught the beastmen in the tribe how to make fire, store food, and grow crops."
